How I Know Von
Miami Beach, where else
Von is one of those Miami Beach people who makes you realize you're not doing enough with your life. He's a world-class DJ who's performed alongside legends. He runs a film production company. He's been tattooing for 35 years. And he still finds time to be a genuinely good human being.
When you meet someone who operates at that level across that many disciplines, you don't just admire them — you build them a page. Von deserves a bigger stage than Instagram can give him. This is my contribution to making that happen.
Why Von Matters
Most people master one creative discipline in a lifetime. Von has mastered four. He went from spinning records at Ibiza super clubs to directing films. He went from getting remixed by Kruder & Dorfmeister to inking tattoos at one of Miami's most respected studios. His music has been on Sex and the City. His art is on people's bodies. His films are in the works.
In an era of personal brands and self-promotion, Von is the rare creator who lets the work speak. He doesn't need to tell you he's talented — his Discogs page, his IMDB profile, his 35 years of ink, and the people who've worked with him tell you everything.
Single Eye Focus Films is the next chapter. Everything Von has done — the music, the visual art, the storytelling, the global perspective — converges in film. Watch this space.
